Sunderland Echo
The Sunderland Echo is a daily tabloid newspaper sold in Sunderland and north-eastern County Durham, including the towns of Durham, Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton-le-Hole, Peterlee, Seaham, Washington and Murton.
It was founded (as the Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette) by Liberal politician Sir Samuel Storey and six like-minded politicians and entrepreneurs in 1873. It’s published by Northeast Press Ltd, originally founded in 1849 but a division of Johnston Press since 1999. There are two other sister newspapers in the area: the Hartlepool Mail and the Shields Gazette.
It’s been in purpose-built editorial offices in Pennywell since 1976.
It has two editions: the City Final and the Co. Durham edition. There’s also a Saturday sports special edition called the Football Echo.
Despite its Liberal origins, it’s generally reckoned to be centre-right politically these days.
The Echo has a series of companion weekly freesheet tabloids:
All of them share the Echo‘s website.
